Read full description

Reclaim the broken isles, one hex at a time. Hexfall is a fast, friendly 4X strategy game built for one-handed play. Every match is a fresh procedurally generated island: scout the fog, claim villages, harvest the land, research your path, and march on your rivals' capitals — in 20 minutes, not 20 hours. SIX TRIBES, SIX PLAYSTYLES • Ironhold — masters of the mine; their cavalry rides cheap • Verdant — unseen in the forests they call home • Tidewatch — fierce ships that sail beyond the horizon • Sunspire — archers whose arrows reach farther than any other • Nightbloom — hardy dusk-walkers whose wounds mend faster • Emberforge — master smiths whose catapults roll out cheap Ironhold, Verdant and Tidewatch are free. A single optional one-time purchase unlocks all six — no subscriptions, nothing consumable. A REAL OPPONENT Three AI difficulties that expand, defend, besiege walled cities with catapults — and sail across the sea when you hide behind it. EVERY DAY, ONE ISLAND The Daily Challenge gives every player in the world the same map. Fewest turns wins. Climb the global board. ALSO IN THE BOX • A five-chapter challenge ladder • Pass & Play on one device • Full save/resume — a phone call never costs you a match • No ads. No timers. No pay-to-win. (It's a game, not a slot machine.) 3D art: "KayKit" by Kay Lousberg (CC0). Made with Godot Engine.

About

Bedem

Autumn 1797. The Military Frontier. A line of wooden watchtowers on the edge of the forest, and every night something comes out of it. Bedem is a turn-based hex strategy game about holding that line. Day is yours: soldiers, iron and discipline. At dusk the lairs wake. At night the map turns against you: you see only as far as your fires, creatures move faster, and companies far from the light lose their nerve. • 16 hand-built missions in two campaigns: the autumn Cordon and the Winter Cordon • Heroes with their own abilities: a harambaša, a krsnik, a smuggler, a Glagolite scribe, a zduhač, a wise woman, a smith and a kresnica • Creatures from Slavic folklore, each with its own rule: the vukodlak, the mora, the drekavac, the psoglav, the štrigun, the drowned dead, the vjedogonja, Morana herself • Fire is everything: light fires, guard them, and do not let the dark reach the villages • A fallen hero stays fallen for the rest of the campaign • Three difficulty levels, a clear forecast before every attack, and an undo for movement • Hand-painted art, original music on gusle and tambura • Plays offline. No ads, no account, no tracking. The first three missions are free. One purchase unlocks the rest of the game, both campaigns. Extra prestige and bringing a fallen hero back are optional purchases; the game is balanced to be won without them. Available in English and Croatian.
